Thought for today

Jesus Time!

1 John 4-5, “For EVERY child of God DEFEATS this evil world, and we achieve VICTORY through our faith. And who can WIN this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God!” Victory? Yes. 1 John 1:1, “But you belong to God, my dear children. You have ALREADY WON a VICTORY over those people, because the Spirit who LIVES in you is GREATER than the spirit of the world.” Victory? Yes! Now since we have all this victory what do we do? 2 Peter 1:5-8, “In view of all this make EVERY effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection for EVERYONE. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Make the most of every opportunity God sends your way. You have the power to make an impact on someone’s life! Don’t be afraid if you are ridiculed for your faith, Jesus says that he blesses those who are ridiculed for His name and plus, what can mere people do to you? Be strong and courageous, you’re not alone. God chose YOU! He wants YOU to fight for Him because He believes in YOU! Live your life for Him and He will take you places you’d never even begin to dream of. Are you up for the challenge? Journal this week and ask God what He has entrusted you with. Earnestly seek Him and you will find Him, it says in Luke 11:10, “Anyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”
